Benefits of technology
The present invention provides an automobile slide adjuster that can increase the strength of the seat belt anchor and rail with a small amount of space while keeping the weight increase minimal. The adjuster includes a lower rail, an upper rail, a seat belt holding plate, and a reinforcing plate. Additionally, there is an auxiliary rail and a guide support holding member to support the auxiliary rail guide and belt guide. The adjuster also includes a belt and a belt guide to guide the belt. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a reliable and safe automobile slide adjuster that can withstand high loads and maintains its strength while being lightweight.
Problems solved by technology
However, if the former slide adjuster is incorporated into a one-box car or mini van, a truck or the like, in which the distance between the floor and the seat is relatively short, various component parts constituting the slide adjuster must have an increased thickness to ensure a predetermined strength, resulting in an increase in the weight of the slide adjuster.

Embodiment Construction
[0026]This application is based on an application No. 2005-141467 filed May 13, 2005 in Japan, the content of which is herein expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0027]Referring now to the drawings, there is shown in FIG. 1 an automobile seat A provided with a slide adjuster according to the present invention. The slide adjuster includes a pair of slide adjuster units S disposed on respective sides of the seat A for use in adjusting the position of the seat A in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle body.
[0028]As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, each slide adjuster unit S includes a lower rail 2 extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and rigidly secured to a vehicle floor, and also includes an upper rail 4 mounted on the lower rail 2 so as to be slidable relative thereto. A generally rectangular seat mounting frame 6 is joined to the right and left upper rails 4, and the seat A is mounted on the seat mounting frame 6.
[0029]The lower rail 2 has a cross se...

An automobile slide adjuster includes a lower rail to be secured to a vehicle body, an upper rail slidably mounted on the lower rail, a seat belt, a seat belt holding plate secured to the upper rail and having a seat belt anchor formed therewith to hold one end of the seat belt, and a reinforcing plate mounted to the lower rail to reinforce the seat belt holding plate.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a slide adjuster for use in adjusting the position of an automobile seat in a direction longitudinally of a vehicle body and, in particular but not exclusively, to a reinforcing structure for a slide adjuster having a seat belt anchor mounted therein.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Some automobile slide adjusters include a seat belt anchor, and such slide adjusters have a predetermined strength so that when a large load is applied to an upper rail from a seat belt through the seat belt anchor, the upper rail may not be separated from a lower rail.[0005]In some automobile slide adjusters, a stopper attached to a front portion of the upper rail is held in contact with a leg of the lower rail, while a striker secured to a vehicle floor is inserted in a recess defined in a rear end portion of the upper rail.[0006]Document 1: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10...
